cheers

Pat

About my visit at the Manufacture, so yes, other pictures to come!

I just need a bit of time to wor on my topics...

Best, my friend.

Nicolas

I would definately like to know more about the people and the processes, but I suppose some of these things are even considered trade secrets. One idea would be to interview  a group of people involved in a spesific project, let's say the development of a new calibre, or maybe even the design process from start to finish. That would make an interesting read, at least to me

Looking forward to more posts from the "maison" Nicolas!

Best,
Richard

I already did some, as I got some interviews from the Heritage Gallery team, the Design Team, and Jerome Lambert ( JLC CEO )...

There are some interviews I will never be able to make,I guess, as for instance the RD Team.

These are too sensible topics.

But this thread seemed mandatory, to me, as a Hommage has to be done for all these great people who are working hard on creating our timepieces.

More topics soon, my friend.

Best,

Nicolas

respect!

Nicolas - a great post. As you mentioned we often get carried away with the finished product and have not fully appreciated the skills, time and incredible efforts (together with the machines) put in by people "behind the scene" at the factory. A big thank you to those who worked and made our watches. If I do have a chance to visit the factory, I will certainly pay more attention and respect to these skilled watch makers. /W72

Indeed hard working people
Some of them are loosing skin on fingers
in the process ... worth of admiration
and The Millionometre .... ahhhh ... long lasting
hard evidence of Antoine genius
Looking forward another stories from
Grande Maison
Cheers
Damian

And they share all this with such a great kindness!

we forget about all this craftmanship once the watch is on our wrist.

Thanks for reminding us.

We are of course aware of how are made our watches, but we tend to forget the " alchimy " behind...

That's true.

Best,

Nicolas

a work of marvel.

Thanks Nicolas

To all the men and women who work at the Manufacture and who put their heart and soul into passionately producing beating works of art.

Thanks for bringing this post to our attention, Nicolas, and thanks to all of them for making us dream over and over thanks to the result of their labor.

All the best,

Alex

We often discuss the designers and other more visible artists involved in watchmaking, but there are numerous equally important contributors behind-the-scenes who play integral roles in the creation of the timepieces we dream about.  Many thanks to those folks.

I'm looking forward to further seeing what your trip to the manufacture has turned up.  I feel you must have lots to report.  I await your posts with baited breath...

Cheers,
Daos

P.S. -- I loved the pictures you took of the rubies and blued screws!

As JLC likes to say, this is the work of a whole team!

As for the blue screws and jewels, yes, I will never see them the same way than I did before...



Best, Sister.

Nicolas

where you see the wear to the employee's - uh, artist's index finger.
